Kerberos Club Skill Power Tiers in DFRPG

That sounds like the situational and plot based bonuses that either Stunts or aspect invocations would provide, depending on how often they'd come up.

So keep your skill at 0 and buy a bunch of stunts.

Your story really only reinforces the idea that the suggested mechanic only works if EVERYONE has one.

Effectively a Power is "a bunch of stunts"; they are just rolled together.

Thanks to the initial comments I had already moved on from the original idea to a power constructed more like those in Dresden - but rather than have it broken down by every possible situation, I was still trying to keep things relatively simple by packaging them together into a Power. What I was asking was for help in doing so.

But cancelling out your opponent's Talent has the same mechanical effect as boosting your own skill. What matters is the difference between the skills, not their absolute rating. (Except for a few special cases.)
